| Reverse description | A large labrys (double-headed axe) dominates the central field, serving as the principal civic emblem of Tenedos. The legend TENEΔIΩN appears above within a border of a laurel wreath that encircles the entire design. The handle of the labrys is flanked by two groups of secondary devices: to the left, a monogram and a bunch of grapes; to the right, a palm branch and a small figure of Athena Promachos shown in advancing pose with raised spear and shield. The composition is carefully balanced within the encircling wreath, reflecting accomplished Hellenistic die-cutting. |
